Yes.  Basically all files under /bin, /sbin, /usr, and /System.  There
are some exceptions, though (e.g., /usr/local).

SIP can be disabled for the whole system, but that's not the norm.

I suppose you could make the package use a pkgsrc shell for all of its
scripts, though.  I think that would work.  Anyway, just wanted to give
a quick note on the difficulty on macOS with that particular idea.

Yes.  The macOS equivalent of LD_PRELOAD is DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, and
that is another one of the environment variables that is purged in the
same way as DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
